Untitled (Two Women at the Shore) 1947

This 1947 lithograph, “Untitled (Two Women at the Shore),” by Nahum Tschacbasov, presents a stylized and fragmented composition with two women depicted on the shore. Their figures are rendered in bold, geometric shapes, with their features broken down into simple lines and curves. The composition is densely packed with lines and patterns, creating a complex and visually striking image. The artist’s interest in the human form and its representation is evident in the work, which reflects a modernist approach to figuration. Tschacbasov was a significant artist in the Russian avant-garde movement, and his work is often characterized by its bold use of line, color, and form.
